Great day in the shop!!!!
Freaky failure---unbelievable good luck!!
This is the rear stud that held the plate down over the camshaft the the dam thing was floating around but nothing fell in to the cam gallery--when we turned the ting over on the motor stand the washer fell through the push rod opening in the head an down in to the valve cover ---when we rotated it back up it fell and his the valve cover with a light tink---we all looked at each other---I roated it back upside down and it made another small sound--pulled thevalve cover and found a small washer---well that scared the bejesus out of us we knew we had to pull the intake and see what happened!! no damage---we got darn lucky I now know why so many folks pull stuff apart and CHECK EVERYTHING after a dyno run!!!
